so my fi really wanted to get married in his catholic church. problem is the latest they can do a sat wedding is 1pm we booked our reception hall way before we discussed churches. our reception is at 7 so no way would 1 pm ceremony work 2pm church is over and our guest have no where to go for 5 hours. he spoke with his priest a few times to see if he would do one a little later like after the last mass from 5-6 but he said no we don't do that in the catholic church..
i really wanted my church but we made some compromises before we found out about the 1pm thingy. so now we are going to have it at my church i am not catholic i am armenian orthodox ( christian) but i was baptized a catholic in my dads childhood church. and there is no restrictions on a saturday on when you can have the ceremony so we are going to do a 5pm-6 ceremony pictures after then off to reception site
we want to invite my fi priest to our church and my church is ok with it. but way before we found out about the church issue on his end we had signed up for pre cana classes would we still need to go to them in order for his priest to come to my church..
my church has no class requirements or anything like that and our church has no issues with so being of different faiths
